Athens Regional Library System awards 2013 Staff Distinction Award

The Athens Regional Library System has named Rebecca Ballard, Children's Area Assistant, as the winner of the system's 2013 Staff Distinction Award.

Ballard has worked for the Athens Regional Library System for eight years.

She joined the Athens-Clarke County Library first as a part-time employee in the library's computer lab but has worked full time as Children's Area Assistant for the past three years.

Ballard excels in her position with creativity, innovation, energy and enthusiasm.

She plans and leads Storytime programs, and she created the library's popular Baby Music Jam program, which brings young children and their families to the library to play instruments, sing and dance together.

Ballard received a plaque at the Library System's Staff Development Day Monday in recognition of her award, along with a restaurant gift certificate and a day off with pay.

The Athens Regional Library System includes 11 branches and resource centers in Clarke, Oconee, Madison, Oglethorpe and Franklin counties.

It is headquartered at Athens-Clarke County Library, 2025 Baxter Street, Athens.
